At Wacken 2008 the movie night film was the most excellent documentary Metal: A Headbanger’s Journey
The concept of watching metal movies on a big-arse screen, at night with a whole bunch of other metalheads at a festival, sounds cool. Yet despite that fact that I’ve been to two Wackens, I’ve never actually watched one. Why? Not sure. There always seems to be something else to do at the time – drink, watch bands, drink, eat dinner, drink.. you know. Stuff.
This year, they’re showing Until the Light Takes Us, the documentary on Norwegian black metal. I’m really keen to see it, as it’s been doing the rounds of film festivals but hasn’t yet had a DVD release (although I hear that’s coming, later this year). Hmm… I might have to actually attempt to participate in movie night this year!
Here’s the trailer:
